Most blogs tend to use a service such as this: Sharing Widget, Sharing Button, Sharing Plugin - ShareThis Sharing Button
You can look through the page at the different styles to see which one suits your website.

The printing document part may require a little work on your end, such as making a print-friendly version of the web page.

I saw it, but it says to register. In registry it asks domain name. Can't i first do my site in localhost and get that sharings to my laptop? Or is it necessary to have domain? I dont understand it clearly. Please explain me detailly.

You will require a domain to use any share feature, because when someone clicks on "share me on twitter" for example, it will share your domain name into twitter. You can use (any) domain name and it will still work on your laptop for testing, it is just some simple javascript.

The main point of sharing is to let others be able to see what you have seen. That's why you need something "shareable". Usually "localhost" is not shareable, because it simply points to the current computer you are working on. So your localhost is pointing to your computer, while my localhost is pointing to my computer. Public domain name is different story, because they always point to the same computer (note this is simplified for easy understanding, lol, don't start arquing about clustering, load balancing, etc :) ), so my duriosoft.com (for example) is always the same with your duriosoft.com, nullworm's duriosoft.com. Therefore it's shareable.

For a start, just go register a cheap domain name (like those ended with .info - i just bought some for $1.99 a year) at webhosts that provide free hosting on domains bought through them. Good for learning and cheap :)
